If they are the same width as factory thin-spokes (9.5"), you can check for yourself here.

Default tires
I am running 295/35/18 s on the back. I probably would not go wider. I have run 325/30/18 s on 10.5 inch rims with no problems. One thing I ran into with the 295 s on wagon wheels is the profile is lower and my traction control sometimes activates without reason. I just turn it off.
